Labor Day Weekend gets started in DC

After a quick road trip, the Nationals return home to kick off another 10-game home stand, starting with a series against the division rival New York Mets. Ross Detwiler gets the start tonight against R.A. Dickey.
Here are tonight’s lineups:

*Danny Espinosa, who is out of the lineup tonight, is keeping his name in the mix for Rookie of the Year by leading all NL rookies with 18 home runs.

*Against the Mets, Detwiler is 1-0 with a 0.96 ERA and has allowed only one walk in three previous games (one start).

*The Nationals today recalled OF Roger Bernadina from Triple-A Syracuse. Over the road trip, they had activated LHP Doug Slated from the Disabled List.

*Don’t forget to check out all of the other great events happening this weekend at the ballpark, including the free Lifehouse concert tomorrow night. Tickets are still available and can be purchased here.
